Profile:
Lall Singh's chief claim to fame is that he was the first outstanding
Indian fieldsman. On the tour of England in 1932 he stood out in a
team in which the fielding was below average with some spectacular
work in the field. An extraordinary quick mover, it was said that ``he
glided over the ground like a snake''. In his only Test - the first
ever that the country played against England at Lord's in 1932 - he
scored 15 and 29 and held one catch. It was his brilliant
anticipation, pick up and throw which ran out Woolley in the first
innings. In the second innings, with the game virtually lost, he and
Amar Singh, in a thrilling counter attack, added 74 runs in 40 minutes
for the eighth wicket.
Lall Singh had a short first class career and then moved to Kuala
Lumpur where he did much to foster talent and encourage the game.
